Therefore, you don't need to enclose the name in quotation marks to search it as a phrase. For example, if you type Elton John Infoseek searches for the name Elton followed by the name John. You don't have to enter "Elton John" with quotation marks, as you would if you were searching for a phrase. **************************************************************

Just posting the facts: "Infoseek Third Quarter Loss Larger Than Forecasts" dailynews.yahoo.com And the page-hit gap percentages continue to decline relative to other sites: "Infoseek's traffic [21 million page views], however, remains well below that on the leading Internet sites like Yahoo , which averaged 144 million page views per day in September, or Excite Inc (Nasdaq:XCIT - news) , which averaged 50 million." It matters not what I or anyone else says or thinks, for Wall Street has already spoken: Day of earnings (October 30th): SEEK closes @33 1/4 On Friday SEEK closed @33 15/16. A whopping 2.2% increase....post earnings.... That isnt even keeping up with market increases since then. On the other hand lets look at YHOO: Oct. 30th closed @130 3/4 On Friday close it was 153 1/2... Thats over 17% appreciationg...not bad for a bloated pig of a stock in the same sector as SEEK Lets look at AMZN: Its up about 5%. And XCIT? Its up about 6%. EGRP? Is up about 30%.
